Kyle has a very good arm and will be a solid pitcher for us this season. Joe is a hard working player I think will be even better with more experience under his belt.

P.J. gave us everything we really needed. He pitched a good ball game.

It is great to have the top hitter in the league coming back. He will be a major part of our offense this year. I have always admired the way he plays the game. Chad will be moving back to his natural position this year, second base, and I am looking forward to working with him.

But it's not about the money. It's getting the opportunity to play in a very competitive league and hopefully getting back to a major league organization. And that's my priority.

We are delighted to have our top starting pitcher back from last year. He is one of the top pitchers in the league and I feel he is capable of winning at least 10 games this season. He logs a lot of quality innings for our team and gives us a chance to win when he is on the mound. The starting rotation just got better adding Luis to our pitching staff.

John is an excellent third baseman and the fact that he can play many positions makes him a valuable player for us. We are very excited to add John to an infield which has greatly improved from last season.
